Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Occupational Stress:

1.	Biomarkers (Surrogate Marker)IBA 02/01/2007 - "In the future, rather than implementing a simple cross-sectional study, a longitudinal study including follow-up research will be more effective in establishing biological markers for job stress." 12/01/2010 - "Finally, measurement of stress-related biological markers may be effective in the investigation from various perspectives of occupational stress in pregnant women." 06/01/2022 - "Biomarkers such as SOD, TAC and MDA are the most important predictors of work stress and overwork in this study." 01/01/2021 - "This work stresses the importance of investigating AD biomarkers in ancestrally diverse samples as well as the need for careful consideration regarding study eligibility criteria in AD prevention trials." 11/10/2017 - "This narrative review of empirical evidence supports the argument that the biomarkers under study can act as mediators of epidemiologically established associations of work stress, as measured by effort-reward imbalance, with incident stress-related disorders."
2.	BuffersIBA 10/01/2018 - "The thematic analysis revealed eight main topics of interest: an emergency culture was found where most employees felt compelled to offer an immediate response to humanitarian needs; employees identified strongly with humanitarian goals and reported a high level of engagement; the rewards of humanitarian work were perceived as motivating and meaningful; constant change and urgent demands resulted in work overload; and managing work-life boundaries and receiving positive support from colleagues and managers helped to buffer perceived stress, work overload, and negative health outcomes. " 04/01/2013 - "The results suggest that social support and fair reward systems may help to buffer against the detrimental effects of heavy job demands on nurses' musculoskeletal symptoms." 11/16/2023 - "However, the salient contribution of this study lies in uncovering the pivotal moderating effect of resilience, revealing that high levels of resilience act as a buffer against the adverse impacts of information overload and social overload, leading to lower levels of work stress among individuals. " 10/01/2021 - "Combining the job demands-resources and the self-determination perspectives, the present study develops and tests a first-stage moderated mediation model that identifies intrinsic motivation as a key mechanism accounting for a negative effect of job insecurity on innovative behaviour and trait mindfulness as a buffer against the detrimental impact of job insecurity on intrinsic motivation and, indirectly, innovative work behaviour. " 01/01/2021 - "The aim of this study was to examine whether resource-providing leadership at the workplace level buffers against the negative repercussions of these job demands on work ability. "
